Climate change doubled chance of weather conditions that led to record Quebec fires, researchers say

Climate change more than doubled the chances of the hot, dry weather that helped fuel the unprecedented wildfire season in eastern Canada that’s driven thousands from their homes and blanketed parts of the U.S. with choking smoke, according to an analysis released Tuesday.

By the decree enforcing the institution of the papacy in violation of the law of God, our nation will disconnect herself fully from righteousness. When Protestantism shall stretch her hand across the gulf to grasp the hand of the Roman power, when she shall reach over the abyss to clasp hands with spiritualism, when, under the influence of this threefold union, our country shall repudiate every principle of its Constitution as a Protestant and republican government, and shall make provision for the propagation of papal falsehoods and delusions, then we may know that the time has come for the marvelous working of Satan and that the end is near. {5T 451.1}

UN report says the world is way off track to curb global warming, but offers ways to fix that

With the world far off track on its 2015 pledge to curb global warming, a new United Nations report central to upcoming climate negotiations details how quickly and deeply energy and financial systems must change to get back on a safer path.

Earth is exceeding its “safe operating space for humanity” in six of nine key measurements of its health, and two of the remaining three are headed in the wrong direction, a new study said.

This year is on track to be the hottest on record, marred by climate-related disasters all over the globe — and El Niño is a big part of the reason, Axios extreme-weather expert Andrew Freedman writes.

  • Why it matters: There has never been an El Niño, at least in the history of modern observations, that began when oceans were already so warm.

🧠 How it works: El Niño is a periodic, predictable cycle in the tropical Pacific Ocean. El Niño events add more heat and moisture to the climate system.

  • 👀 Worthy of your time: Explore Axios Visuals' in-depth project on El Nino's global impact ...

Fracturing climate consensus

The super-sized Climate Week in Manhattan featured a stark split-screen between the official business, showcased at the UN Climate Ambition Summit, and a trade show-like glimpse into our lower carbon future.

  • Why it matters: The core message from both sides is that progress is being made to decarbonize economies. But the pace and scale are nowhere as fast or sweeping as they need to be.

Expect that to come up repeatedly at the UN Climate Summit in Dubai (COP28) from Nov. 30 to Dec. 12.

  • The private sector is emphasizing speed. Countries working within the UN process want speed plus a fossil fuel phaseout — and more money to help developing nations suffering the worst consequences.
  • It foreshadows COP28's fault lines, and the task ahead for the United Arab Emirates' leadership.

🖼️ The big picture: At more than 600 climate-themed events throughout the city this week, venture capitalists, policymakers, CEOs, corporate sustainability officers and others made the case that progress has been made to lower greenhouse gas emissions.

  • President Biden's signature climate law, enacted a little more than a year ago, has helped jump-start the process. But the world is still hurtling toward exceeding Paris targets.
  • "We are in many aspects even moving backwards," UN Secretary-General António Guterres said as he led Wednesday's summit.

Reality check: While the president-designate of COP28, Sultan al-Jaber, will come to Dubai agreeing with the spirit of Guterres' summit, there are significant disagreements on the substance.

  • Al-Jaber told Axios in an interview that he wants to focus on cutting emissions and tripling renewables by 2030. But he didn't endorse "phaseout" language, instead noting that a "phase down is inevitable."

🔮 What's next: A major task for COP28 will be to formally assess whether (and how far off) the world is toward meeting the Paris targets, known as the Global Stocktake. It calls for an eventual phaseout of fossil fuels.

The bottom line: The private sector Climate Week's theme this year was "We can. We will."

  • If one could affix a theme to the UN summit it was: "We need to, but might not rise to the moment."
